Age: My Small World

Chapter 21 Introduction
Everyone followed Cao Wen's footsteps and slowly came to the classroom.

"Teacher, can I discuss something with you?"

After putting her daughter down and making her sit down, the woman said a little embarrassedly.

In fact, she didn't need to say much, Teacher Cao roughly understood what she meant.

He sighed and said, "Let's talk outside."

"Okay, okay."

The two talked for a few words at the door, and Teacher Jiang did not leave and stayed with them.

Yang Jun guessed that the three were probably talking about the girl with a leg injury.

Since her father didn't show up today, she most likely comes from a single-parent family, and her mother has to work, otherwise she will have no income.

Sure enough, he was right.

When the three of them came in again, the woman gave the girl a few instructions and left.

The little girl's expression didn't change much, it seemed she had long been accustomed to this kind of life.

"Classmates, Jiang Xueying is ill, so I hope you can take good care of her from now on. If there is anything you can't solve, you can tell the teacher, okay?"

"I understand, teacher." Everyone agreed in unison, quite energetic.

"Liu Xin, you and Jiang Xueying should sit at the same table. If she needs help, please help her." Teacher Jiang suddenly said to a female student.

"I know, Mom."

As her somewhat indignant voice sounded, everyone's eyes instantly fell on the girl who answered. It turned out to be Teacher Jiang's daughter.

"Okay, then Teacher Cao, I'll go back first. Just call me if you need anything."

"Sorry for the trouble, Teacher Jiang."

……

The classroom returned to silence, and everyone looked towards the blackboard attentively.

On the podium, Cao Wen gently pushed his glasses with his hand.

"Today is our first class in high school. I believe everyone is not familiar with each other yet, so let's introduce ourselves first, starting with the student in front."

"Yes, teacher." The student who was called immediately stood up with high spirits.

"Hello everyone, I'm Zhu Chun, from Beizhuang." He scratched his head and smiled innocently.

Yang Jun thought that Zhu Chun looked quite similar to Fan Yuanjie. Both of them were of strong build and looked good at work.

The seating is still a bit messy now. For example, Cheng Xiaoyu is sitting next to him and won't leave.

Yang Jun habitually found a seat by the window in the last row. After the little girl sat over, he could hardly see what was in front of him. She was only about 1.5 meters tall.

"Student Zhu Chun, can you tell me more? For example, do you have any hobbies? What do you like to do?" Cao Wen said in a guiding manner.

He just became a class teacher this year, but he has a college education after all, so he has his own way of tutoring students.

"Ah? A hobby? Does eating count as something I like? I eat a lot. My mom says it's like raising a pig at home, hehe."

His words made everyone laugh, and some of them couldn't help laughing.

However, with such an opening, the following students became more active.

"Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Xueying, and my hobby is reading." The girl was quite calm when introducing herself.

"Hello everyone, my name is Liu Xin. My hobby is skipping rope. We can play together during breaks." Liu Xin has a lively personality, which is a bit different from Teacher Jiang's old-fashioned and quiet appearance.

When he reached the last row, Cao Wen immediately saw Cheng Xiaoyu, who was almost invisible next to Yang Jun.

"Hello everyone, my name is Cheng Xiaoyu, and I like... I like painting."

Yang Jun glanced at her in surprise; this was the first time he'd heard of this interest. "Brother Xiaoshan, it's your turn." Cheng Xiaoyu seemed socially anxious, but this time, she didn't even blush, which surprised him even more.

"Hello everyone, my name is Yang Jun, I'm from Fanjiazhuang, and I like... well, farming and breeding."

In fact, Yang Jun is better at writing, but now is not a good time to write.

"Hahaha, man, you're so funny."

The boy at the next table laughed. He looked clean and must have a good family background.

"Haha, it's fine."

Following the introduction, Yang Jun also learned his name, Ma Xin, and that he liked playing football.

There are a total of forty people in the class, thirty-three of them are boys and only seven are girls. You can tell a lot from the proportions.

After all, only a few families can afford to send their girls to high school.

After everyone introduced themselves to each other, Cao Wen started the next item.

"First, we need to change seats. Students who are not tall enough should sit forward as much as possible. The same goes for those with poor eyesight. Let's start adjusting now."

There was no major switch, but the shorter students and those with poor eyesight were moved to the front, while those tall enough were moved to the back.

Yang Jun thought he could keep the precious spot in the last row, but was ruthlessly rejected by Cao Wen. He could no longer sit in the last row because his height was only average in the class. There were quite a few people who were 1.8 meters tall. He was indeed a big man from Lu Province, the province with the highest average height, and had strong genes.

"I should be able to catch up after I drink more spiritual water." He vowed secretly.

Height is one of the most important aspects of a man's image, and you can't lose to others in this regard.

Cheng Xiaoyu went straight to the first row, but her skinny figure was indeed not an advantage.

"Give her some spiritual water to drink someday. Otherwise, her growth will be affected if she continues like this."

The little girl looked over with some reluctance. They were already three rows of seats apart from each other.

Yang Jun's deskmate became a classmate who looked rather shifty at first glance. He still remembered his name, Wang Kui.

It’s not a good word to use to describe my classmate. Generally speaking, he has sparse eyebrows and small eyes.

"Classmate, nice to meet you."

"Well, hello." Yang Jun didn't pretend to be aloof or anything, which was inconsistent with his personality.

"Why don't you look like a rural person to me?"

At the table on the far right of the third row, which was the table in front of Yang Jun, it was Liu Xin who spoke up. The positions of the two girls did not change, but the people in the row changed.

"Really? A lot of people say so, I can't do anything about it." Yang Jun spread his hands.

“But I do come from the countryside.”

"Oh." After Liu Xin lost interest after asking, he didn't ask any more questions.

Instead, Wang Kui nudged Yang Jun under the table and whispered, "Yang Jun, my family owns a shop. If you want to eat out in the future, go to my house. I'll definitely give you a cheaper price."

"Your business must be doing very well." Yang Jun looked at his classmate and couldn't help but admire him. It would be unreasonable not to make money if he had done such a good business.

In other words, the current environment is still okay, so it provides some private restaurants with room to survive. As the situation changes in the next few years, there will be fewer and fewer such restaurants, until they flourish after the opening up.

"Haha, it's okay." Wang Kui smiled.

"But what I told you is true. You're my deskmate, so it's definitely cheaper to eat there."

"Then I'll go visit you someday."

Yang Jun agreed with what he said, but didn't think it was a big deal. Since his classmate could attract business for his family at school, he must be a smart person.
